As usual, however, or since Harris was nominated as a candidate, it was Beyoncé's "Freedom" that was the entrance song when Kamala Harris stepped up to give a speech. Beyoncé has given Harris her explicit support to use the song. But the artist herself was not present.

But the Democrats' well-staged convention and its grand finale did not lack star power. In addition to Pink, who performed an acoustic "What About Us" with her daughter, The Chicks (formerly known as Dixie Chicks) performed the national anthem.

And Stephen Curry, basketball star in the NBA team Golden State Warriors and recent gold medalist in the Olympic Games, gave a shout-out for a vote for Kamala Harris.

A surprisingly large number of people at the convention had dressed in white on the final evening, the color that symbolizes the suffragette movement that fought for women's right to vote.
